Surprise Surprise

We slept in until 8:30 this morning. My sister Melanie and her husband Keats didn't wake up until  about 12:30 noon. Everything was very frozen this morning, making the time we spent taking care of the animals very annoying. We had the Opportunity  to watch, " Night at the Museum 2," IT WAS SORTA' DUMB!!! I thought it was kind of funny but not really worth owning. Tonight we were eating dinner, and my mother kept looking at the front room windows. We all thought that she was just kidding with us, but a few minutes latter... my Sister Jennifer and her Husband Joshua, ( Josh ) came in the door. We were very happy that they came this early, Originally  they weren't going to be here, until Christmas morning. BUT NOW THEY ARE HERE!!!!! They brought their dogs, Torque,(pit bull/Boxer.) Bently,(Pit Bull/Labrador ) and Miki.(Tea cup Pomeranian ) We, ( April, EmmaLee and I ) all watched G-force. It was funny, but still not worth owning. We're all so excited for Christmas tomorrow. We're all staying up late, to visit as a family. But not too late, so that Christmas morning comes sooner. Grin! I hope that all of you have a really grand Christmas! I don't think that I'll be Updating  this blog any time soon, but if I happen to have some extra time on my hands tomorrow after we've done all the fun stuff, then I think I'll have some pictures of the morning. Again I'd like to wish every one a happy Christmas. OH, and here is our family Christmas card for this year... I hope that you like it. 

The MacKays

 Another year has come to an end and we, the MacKays, are all here on this earth enjoying the bounties of it.  
 Eric: Still working in Show Low and surrounding areas for the local mortuary. Keeps family happy by taking them atv riding on weekends looking for wild animals. Sometimes we don’t have to go very far to find them out where we live.
 Sherie: Working for the local police department as a dispatcher. It isn’t so hard babysitting a small town. Actually spends more time reading and other things than working. Bet you all wish you had that job.
 Rebecca: Working for the county as a county clerk. Finds great enjoyment with some fellow employees (a boyfriend) and great aggravation with others. Lives at home as of now and we love having her around.
 Jennifer & Joshua (Roper): Live in Maricopa, AZ. Happy parents of 3 dogs and a lovely home. They were sealed in the SLC Temple this year.
 Melanie & Keats (Jack): Live in La Plata, NM. Happy parents of 2 dogs. (What is it with dogs, I thought you should have children after marriage, not dogs?)
 Kirstie (19): Lives in Winslow, AZ. Is attending officer academy for becoming an officer at the county jail. Will graduate the last day of the year.
 Amanda (14): Living at home. Still being homeschooled. Eager to get her driving permit this next year since she believes she should be driving all over anyway. Determined to train her Labrador to pull a cart. (Good idea since we won’t get her a horse.) 
 April (12): Living at home. Still being homeschooled. Enjoying babysitting for others because you get paid for it. Has discovered it is nice to have money.
 EmmaLee (7 going on 25): Living at home. Attends AZVA (which is doing school at home). Is going to be the world’s greatest female hunter possibly in only a few years. Also believes she is a cat.
 There are many more cats, dogs, chickens and rabbits that some feel are part of the family and others feel should be part of dinner.
 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year.
